I was going to call Discount Tire and Just Tires...
I know Discount Tires used to do a pricematch on internet prices (plus a mounting charge)...though when they started pricematching they didn't charge a mounting fee
Anywhere else do internet pricematching? Any other ways to get the best deals on tires? 11/14/2005 3:10:21 PM |

i dunno, normally i would say changing tires isn't rocket science but then I would say the same about changing oil...and the geniuses at jiffy lube screw that up routinely so who knows. 11/14/2005 5:11:29 PM |

sam's did me good when i bought tires from there a couple of years ago...^ and you're right, changing tires doesn't require immense automotive knowledge so price is probably the primary factor 11/14/2005 5:55:31 PM |

wherever you decide to go for tires, check out their website. Many have web coupons for $ off 2 or 4 tires 11/14/2005 8:18:48 PM |

I had my tires mounted at BJs for $6 a piece. They didn't balance them though, I didn't want them to. You can get them from tire rack for reasonably cheap, but good luck finding a place to mount them.
Find a place that will match online prices. Then get a quote from that store. Then take that quote to another store and have them beat that.
example. Tire rack is $142 a tire. Then go to Just tires and have them go to $140 mounted and balanced. Then go to NTB and have them do $135 mount and balanced. 11/14/2005 8:30:23 PM |

How would i get Just Tires to do it for $140 mounted and balanced if the cost is $142 per tire online? Even if they don't charge a mounting fee how do i get them cheaper than the tire-only price?11/14/2005 9:00:11 PM |

bttt
can't decide btw the michelins and yokohamas, the michelins are a bit more and may be better tires, but the yokos heave a better treadwear rating

I don't know how I got those cheaper than tire rack. That is just what happened. I just would reccommend playing tire places against each other for the cheapest price.
I would buy the yokos myself.
I also like just tires on glenwood for their service. They got me a narrow walled flip socket for my own personal use, cheaper than I could get one from the store. They also sourced hibcentric rings for one of my sets of wheels. Granted that was three years ago though. 11/15/2005 6:57:01 PM |
